TNNA in Phoenix

It's true, it's really true! We're going to be at TNNA in Phoemix. 

Come by our booth and check out new designs and yarns. We're really excited for this show which we haven't attended for several years. We'll have all our summery hemp and blend yarns up on display.

Our studio will be closed from Jan 11 - 24th in order for us to travel to the show. The last day for us to ship out orders before we leave will be Monday Jan 9th.

We're looking forward to seeing you at TNNA!

We Have A Winner!

Congratulations to Jamie! We've sent an email letting her know she is the winner of the pattern and yarn to knit this beautiful cloth. This morning I finished the one in the pic - deep sea and pearl! Can't wait to see what colors Jamie selects. I think I could get 5 - 6 cloths out of just 2 skeins of allhemp6. Fun, fun, fun!

Another Contest!!

If you've been following for awhile you'll know that I really like the mosiac knitted cloths designed by Amy Marie. You can check out her ingenious designs on ravelry here.

The release of her latest design - a wing and a prayer angel cloth - is perfectly timed.

Amy and I are joining together for this give-away. The lucky winner will receive the pattern  and 2 skeins of allhemp6 in their color choice.

All you have to do is comment here or on facebook and you will be entered. Please be sure to leave contact info. The lucky winner will be selected on Nov 30th. Good luck!

Check out this youtube video! What a talented pair and they deserve this award too! I've always been partial to garter stitch and still am.

The FisherMAN Sweater

Here's a first look at the FisherMAN Sweater! It's an easy knit, stockinette with a slip stitch which creates nice vertical lines. The body and sleeves are knit separately in the round to the underarms, then joined all in one piece. This shoulder shaping uses the same technique  that I used in the Urban Twist. It gives the appearance of a sewn in sleeve but they are actually knit on as you go. Pattern will be along shortly.

The bottom photo shows the fisherman in the distance and in the foreground a knitted washcloth finished whilst husband fishes.  Tally: fish = 0, washcloth = 1. Now that's my idea of a blissful morning!

Shaped Neck Tee With Long Sleeves

Our long sleeve version of our popular tee is now available! We've printed the additional instructions on our web page so if you already own this pattern click here to get the instructions. 

I'm throwing in this extra pic cause I just love the architecture in the alley!
